Businesses are founded to make money and do not exist to provide jobs.

That's absolutely right. A business has a fiduciary responsibility to its stockholders. It doesn't exist to create jobs or boost the morale of a community. Those are merely side-effects of making profits.

Unions have degenerated into corrupt political entities that collect dues to promote a political agenda.

I invest in a number of businesses and any company that caves into union demands inevitably hurts me and other stockholders financially.

RIGHT TO WORK laws are the first step. Ending affirmative action (a drain on productivity since the best and brightest are passed over) is another necessary step. And of course there are the profit-killing regulations that must be abolished to restore the American economy.

———profit-killing regulations-——

We lost the entire furniture industry and all the jobs simply because the EPA declared the volatiles in the finishes pollute and must be replaced with water based coatings

American would not have it. The products looked bad and cheap.

The industry packed up and moved. It had no choice. Their products became inferior through no fault of the company

If it were a different time and place, EPA bodies would be stacked like cordwood
